Coir & preparation
How do I choose a cocopeat propagation cube size?
Match the cube to the plant, nursery duration and final transplant system.

Why are coir-grown seedlings tall and weak?
Inspect stem condition and light before assuming more nutrition is needed. Long, thin growth differs from a collapsed stem base.

Why the root zone matters
Coir supplies a root environment, but light, spacing and climate shape seedling form.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Check light distribution and shading between trays.
- Compare sowing density and spacing with the nursery plan.
- Inspect stem bases and roots for separate health problems.
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
Which pattern fits?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Plants lean toward a light source
Review light placement and uniformity for the crop.
Dense trays stretch evenly
Review spacing and sowing density before the next batch.
Stem bases collapse
Investigate possible damping-off rather than treating the plants as merely leggy.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Compare a small corrected-light or spacing trial with the original batch.
Keep in mind
Do not use extra fertiliser as the default correction for weak elongated seedlings.
